Aaron Boone making getting tossed his whole shtick out of nowhere is funny.
Managers getting ejected doesn’t feel like a thing in baseball anymore.

The last two were probably Bobby Cox and Lou Pinella.

I guess Jim Leyland too.

In the old days it was wild. Earl Weaver, Sparky Anderson, Tommy LaSorda and Billy Martin. Those guys were maniacs. Lol.

How come you haven't tagged me about Torkelson in a while? :sas2:

If it wasn't for Shohei and Acuna, Matt Olson might be the talk of baseball. He's been on one helluva tear since June.
I’d argue for Corbin Carroll since he’s even less appreciated than Olson playing in Arizona.

The raw production hasn't been there.
But for the season, Torkelson has a strong barrel percentage, his strikeout rate is manageable, and his walk rate is above average.

He really should be an .800-.850 OPS guy.
I'd say he's been somewhat unlucky...and he's surrounded by a lot of bad players.

I think he's been talked about quite a bit since he's a rookie. Obviously, gonna run away with ROY and there's been some Trout whispers with him. :ehh:

I feel like Freddie Freeman and Mookie are kinda under the radar as well.

While you're not wrong about the trash lineup, Greene and even Kerry Carpenter are still making it work.

I do think Tork has a lot of loud outs but I need to see that translate into actual production next year.
